Hi Marcia, it was lovely to meet you today. I hope Baxter is impressed with his new Easidri coat and it is helping to keep him cool. Kate Xxx

"Baxter" continues to be a Joy. He and Diesel are being good mates, and each are playing with the toys. Diesel seems so small COMPARED to Baxter, the BIG boy that he is. Baxter is still fascinated by everything I do, and everything in the outside world. So glad he is "in our life" Diesel was glad to be back at Julie's club, and Baxter joined in and was a good boy.

Fantastic news. Be happy Baxter!

YES!!! Signed the Papers with Ruth yesterday, and he is now in our care and home. All of us settling in together, and "Buster" learning each day. "Buster" will now be BAXTER (to which he is responding). So, yes, Diesel, Baxter and Marcia will be at Julie's club on saturday morning.
Thanks to you all for your comments. Marcia and David

Buster marvellous news, so happy for you! xxx

I've been waiting for this news for so long. I hope you have a long & happy life with your new mommy & daddy Buster -you deserve it mate. xxx

Great news that Buster is a permanent fixture. He will great company for Diesel. Will we see Buster at training or did he come ready trained?

Great news! Go Buster! x

Fantasic to see that sign turn green and even better news that Diesel has a new brother!
Love from Linda, Paul, Lola & Lena xxx

Great news. Well done Buster, I know you have found a great new home! x

Well done x

Buster and Diesel getting on well, no problems there. Buster has learned so much, now stands behind us when we are preparing food, waiting at door ways. Loves cuddles, as does Diesel, but appreciates when "enough is enough" - I get mugged,

Hi, it's really great news that Buster has settled down well at his foster home and that it looks as if it may turn out to be permanent. Can't wait to hear the news that I have been waiting to hear for so long, that Buster is happy and having fun in his new home. Heres hoping Buster!

Gosh he worked hard didn't he? 77 races and inthe first three 40 times ... he really deserves his sofa :) J x

Buster has settled extremely well, and Diesel is a happy boy too (eating well, which he really hasn't done since we lost Brillo in April) I have been fascinated to see Buster's reaction to being in a home, exploring and scenting everything, Paddled well thru the mud and puddles on Julie's walk yesterday, my Husband said I could have ridden him! I am small, and Buster is a BIG lad. So far, so good/ hopefully here to stay!!!

Buster be a good boy for your foster family (human and that Saluki boy) cos if you are you might just find yourself the best home ever!Like Ruth says I am also keeping everything crossed for him.

I have heard from the lovely Marcia who is fostering Buster and he is doing really well. Keeping my fingers crossed for him as this may turn into a permanent home for him :-))))

glad you have a lovely foster home buster. x

My cuddle goes to Buster today. Good news to see him fostered xx

Aah buster which lovely person has fostered you?? X

So sad for Buster, I am sure the perfect home is out there for him. xxx

Dont worry Buster, your forever home is just around the corner. Luv & cuddles. XXX.

I couldn't believe it when I read about my poor Buster back at the kennels, at least I know that he will be getting extra love. I'm unable to visit this week so please give him a kiss from me and I hope he finds a new home soon. Must go now,need to find a new box of tissues. xxx Not for you Ruth, it's for Buster

Oh my poor Buster - it must be so confusing for you when one cat lets you "play" and another is frightened of you, what are you to do? Other creatures can be quite daunting when you've not seen them before, so we just need to get you used to the outside world a bit more my poppett. Cuddles. xx

Aaaw bless him Ruth. So sweet to be wanting to sniff & wash them......poor little fella for being frightened by the pup. He is absolutely gorgeous, so it hopefully won't be long before he trots off to his forever sofa. xx

what o buster how can anyone not love you. if i was in a different position i would give you a lovely home. thinking i may move back to a house with a garden soon. in midlands. xxxxxx

Oh Buster, never mind you are such a good boy and that lovely and favourite colour of mine....black, that I am sure a new home is around the corner for you. xxx

Buster is cat friendly - but he likes to get close to them to sniff and wash them - as he did on his cat test. Sadly he was unable to do this in his new home as the cats became petrified of him.

We had a visit from an Afghan puppy yesterday and tried to introduce him and Buster was petrified..... his tail went between his legs and he wouldn't go near and turned away back into the kennels :-(

He is such a fabulous boy and if I wasn't looking after Lachlan at home at the moment for a friend, he would be at our house. He is a gentle, lovely boy who just needs some time and patience in a new home if he is to live with other animals.

Ah well, I can relate to the cat problem. Here's to a cat free home soon for lovely Buster x

Sadly, I can relate to this, I'm sure we will find a lovely new home for Buster soon. xx

Poor boy, still I'm sure a cat free home will be just around the corner x

So is buster still cat friendly, just didn't get on with the owners cat?

It must have been a very difficult decision, especially as he did seem very cat friendly when you tested him, but it was the right 1 for them. Thinking of them and their cat as well as poor Buster. xx

A friend of ours took on a Grey (from a rescue). Been in the home 3 hours, had tea and she let him into the garden after with no muzzle on. He leapt up to drag the cat off of the shed roof and although he didn't kill it instantly it had to be PTS (RIP Lisa) They were obviously devastated :-(

I am sure that someone will be along to give Buster a home very soon xx

oh poor buster never mind auntie ruth will sort you out- let me just say i have three greyhounds none of which are cat friendly and my cat lives quite happily upstairs and goes in and out through the bedroom window thumbing his nose at the dogs as he goes- i,ve found stair gates very useful for keeping them separate- my old greys were cat friendly but it took us about six months to achieve it- will give you cuddles on wednesday buster you are a lovely boy xx

Sadly Buster was showing interest in the cats who kept appearing and disappearing and the cats also became distressed by having a dog in the house. It was a difficult decision for Buster's owners who feel they have made the right decision and for this, we must support them.

Now I know we don't know the reasons yet, but goodness me, he's only been gone a couple of days... Poor Buster :(

Buster you are black, beautiful and cat friendly, what more could anyone wish for, new home coming up soon Im sure! x

Oh poor boy, what happened?

Why????

Oh no, poor Buster. Here's hoping a new home is just around the corner lovely boy.

Is buster back???

Just catching up on all the rehoming over the past few weeks and so delighted to see that Buster has a new home. We wish you all the very best for the future.

Be happy lovely Buster. Have a good life. x

All the best in your new home my boy - have fun and be good! xx

Be a good boy Buster xxxx

Well done be happy x

Fantastic! Buster you are a star, sending you my very happy cuddle today! xxx

Yes!!!! I'm so happy, well done buster, I know ur new mummy and she will love you for ever!!! X

Wow Buster, you are a star!!!! Well done. xxx

Buster was absolutely amazing on his cat test. He stood there, with his muzzle off, washing the cats ears!!!! I think you have found yourself a home :-)

He's hopefully having his rendezvous with the cat tomorrow...so fingers and toes crossed!

How was he with the cat???

How did the lovely Buster get on with the cat? Love him to bits.

Oh Buster, I wish my hubby would let me have grey no3 cos you & Bugsy are this weeks contenders! Your gorgeous, with melt the heart eyes and soft soft fur.......luv t

I am head over heals in love with this gorgeous boy. He licks, he nuzzles, he leans - what more could you want. Plus he is very handsome and has a beautiful velvety coat. I hope I am not selling him because I want to take him home!

Loved our snuggles yesterday buster boy! You are so lovely!!!!

You get my cuddle today Buster, lots of people looking at you today and you were being a very good boy so..... maybe some lucky person will be taking you home! x

i hope you find a lovely home buster you are beautiful. be a good boy with the cat. xx

Please be a good boy when you meet the cat! We really want you to come and live with us :-)

Dear Santa, please can you bring Buster a lovely new home for Christmas? He has waited very patiently & I'm sure you must know of someone who is wishing for a handsome black greyhound to make their home complete this Christmas...

Buster ...still as handsome as ever ..i don't understand why he is still in the kennels. He's perfect, affectionate, loves cuddles, walks great on the lead! Hopefully the lovely couple who he met today will give him a good home. :-)

Walked buster today, he walked very well on the lead and was very interested in everything. A lovely boy. x

I hope this lad gets snapped up this weekend, he really is adorable :) xx

You will have the right 1 for you when the time is right Bonnie!
I decided to not 'do' cards this year and instead I bought some things and made a hamper out of them all and donated it to Daybreaks. Gave me much more pleasure!
This Christmas I have my beautiful big black boy Bob :-)

Hi Bonnie, I'm sorry you aren't able to offer one of these beautiful dogs a home just yet, but I am sure when you are ready there will be the perfect four legged friend waiting for you. xxx

wish i was in a position to love and give him a home. not in our iow house till april. xx after this year i am not buying presents at all i am donating my money to this wonderful greyhound rescue instead. i always get things i dont want anyway. lol. xxx

My cuddle goes to lovely Buster today, who is still waiting patiently for his forever home. Hope he won't have to wait too much longer. xxx

buster met a small whippet x saluki and a medium saluki today and was amazing i think he made some new friends!

Such great news that Tom will be going to a home. Whilst it makes my day every time I see any of the greys rehomed, I can't help but notice that a lot of the girls fly out of the door and the beautiful black boys have to wait longer. Buster is amazing and I hope it will be his turn very soon. I hope you get there Bonnie - I am also trying all my powers of persuasion with husband. Kids have looked at the site this evening and there's a majority vote of three in favour - they loved him when they met him a few weeks ago and I think he would make a great family pet. C'mon Buster, nuzzle into anyone who comes to visit and they will find it hard not to fall in love with you, as the three of us have.

he is lovely his eyes just melt me. i am getting there ruth. xx

Had such a lovely time with the gorgeous Buster today. He didn't react to the barking lab at the farm and enjoyed his walk - he walks beautifully. Back in the kennels, as his legs were so dirty from the mud in the lane, I bent down to clean them, he was as good as gold and patiently let me clean each leg, then gave me a big kiss!! Such a fantastic boy. x

he looks cheeky those beautiful eyes. x

Great new pic Buster. Loving the long nose. You get my hug today, hope you also get a new home soon :)

I love the new pic. Buster has such a long handsome face. Still working on the husband. I love this grey! I hope he is in a home very soon (and preferably mine!).

Buster is a lovely boy, he gets excited when you go to his kennel as he can't wait to come out and be outside!! A lovely, big boy who adores a fuss. Cuddles to you lovely boy. x

I think buster needs an update in his pics

I agree Emma, we took time off with both of ours too (about 5 days if memory serves!). Of course we kept to our usual activites, but we found it gave us time to observe how they were settling in during the first few days and slowly build up the time they were left on their own before we went back to work-seemed to work for us anyway. Good luck Kai's Mom, you're going to have a great time meeting your 'someone special'. Look out for eyes that bury deep into your soul!!!!! Mand x

Kai'smom, I think it's very sensible to wait, I work from home but I still scheduled settling in time so all 4 of mine knew they had to behave when I was working. As the 'other' Emma says, not long now :0)

That's fare enough.we took our non grey n kids with u wen our grey chose us.i guess we didn't have to worry as due to a past dog with issues we wetent keeping the dogs together wen we was not at home but that only lasted a few months as they became inseparable.happy hunting come Xmas,not long now

Hi Emma, in most cases i would totally agree with you, however, as i already have a grey and a non grey it is purely for my own peace of mind that i want to re-home when i have time off work. My non-grey can be a bossy little madam at times and i would like to be at home for the 'settling in' period just to ensure all goes as smoothly as it possibly can. I'm counting down the weeks until xmas when i have a week off work and i will be down to the kennels the weekend before to hopefully find a suitable grey for us. As people say the dogs choose each other and i am hoping that will be the case. I know little 'tiffs' can happen at any time but i would rather take all the precautions i can.

You don't need time off work.wen we rehomed ours we were told to get him into normal life routine straight away otherwise he will get stressed once u change him to the normal routine as he won't b used to it.i was at work a few hours the day after we had ours then had the weekend at home then straight into normal daily life and apart from minor seperation anxiety which was resolved by toys and chew sticks he did great

I was one of Buster's nudgees! I totally agree with your comments, he didn't seem phased at all by the surroundings and was quite happy to have a fuss off anyone willing to provide it. Buster and Derry were my favourites of the dogs we met yesterday :) Those 2 just stood out for me and will make someone a lovely companion. Just a pitty i cannot come looking until xmas when i have time off work.

By the way, his photo doesn't do him justice. Buster has a coat like velvet. He is exceptionally handsome.

So, I am torn. I have enjoyed my day with Buster at the Annual Fun Day and he is truly fantastic. However, I am not sure I want to say how lovely he is because I want to take him home with me. I'm having some difficulty persuading my husband that we need another greyhound and so I am reluctantly going to sing his praises - but give me a few days and he could be mine... (husband, are you reading this?!)

Buster has bags of confidence. Nothing phased him today, he was delighted to meet any and everyone and loved my children (8 and 6) who launched themselves on him as soon as they met him. He is not shy, and happily nuzzled his way into any group gathering at the Fun Day. He loves other greys and is comfortable around other breeds. He was a little interested in small terriers at the beginning of the day, but as time went by he became less and less keen, and I think the more he sees of them, the less he will take notice.

He's a tremendously happy chap, with real character. Lively and extremely affectionate, he was delighted to meet everyone, young or old. I can't speak more highly of this lovely boy. And the couple who took the photograph of him today, do come and meet him again, he is truly special.

A fine looking boy, hope he gets a forever home soon.

hope you get a forever home xxx

Another friendly happy boy who loves attention.

Happy Birthday to lovely Buster! xxx

Happy Birthday Buster.

He looks very cute.

Happy Birthday, Buster! xx

Happy Birthday Buster!
